Reciprocity with Spain.
New YORK, February 4th,-The Herald
says: An enterprsing newspaper in Ha-
vana, called La Luchd, has taken so great
an interest in the possibility of getting
satisfactory treaty out of the United States
as to have three columns of interviews
cabled from Washington to Havana. The
gentlemen interviewed were John w. Fos-
ter, late United Minister to Spain, and
Senior Murgua, the present Spanish Min
lister to this country. La LGcha's CORE
spondent in Washington questioned the
Spanish Minister about the treaty as fol-
lows:
us there in the convention signed by
you and Mr.. Bayard clause by which it is
limited in the duration ?"
There is none written" he replied, ''but
one exists privately"
And are you actually occupied in ne
gotiations for carrying out a reciprocity
treaty?"
mo, | am not engaged in negotiations
for the definite treaty which occupies the at
tention in Madrid of Senor Morel Minister
Of State, and Mr.. Curry, United States Min
lister to Spain"
"Do you think a favorable result will be
reached?'
AZ do not doubt desirable result will
be reached but in case it should not be
reached by the end of March, favor and
recommend engaging in policy of coer-
cion.'
DO you have confidence in system of
reprisals?"
"Reprisals are the only effective method
BY which Americans can be shown, at last,
the consequences. | believe that is the
attitude taken by the Government in Mad
rid"
WASHINGTON, February 4th.-Your re-
porter called on the Spanish Minister to-
day for the purpose of verifying an inter-
view published by a Havana journal, in
which the Minister is represented as saying
that. unless negotiations for carrying out
the reciprocity treaty between Spain and
the United States reach a favorable result
by the 1st of March, he favors coercion
The Minister was engaged and could not
see your reporter, but sent word that the
interview was authentic, and his views
were accurately and correctly given.
Secretary Manning TO be Impeached.
WASHINGTON, February 4th.-The EUe,-
ing Star tonight says: This evening or to-
morrow evening a number of members of
both parties in the House intend to hold a
conference for the purpose of drawing up
resolutions of impeachment against Secre-
tary Manning for violating the laws of
Congress in his official acts. This
movement is being promoteds by
the ultra silver men, and grows
directly out of what they construe at
once as virtual acknowledgment
in his reply to the Weaver resolution, that
he had violated, and intended to violate,
the law that mutilated notes presented for
redemption shall be redeemed in notes of
the same denomination. The Star gets its
information from several members of the
House, who declare that there is no bum
comfe in it, but that it is the result of q
serious determination to resent violation
of the law In addition to the
case with relation to the canceling
of Treasury notes, it will be charged that
the law has been repeatedly violated by
the failure to purchase 100000 worth of
silver each month. 1t will be charged that
while the law is mandatory that that
amount should be purchased leach
month"; the Treasury Department fails to
make the purchase during any month
when the price of silver has advanced, and
DuNS tlle supply lOT TWO IlOUlnS, Ut more,
when they have " beared the market and
brought the price to a low point.
VIII Not BE Contested.
WASHINGTON, February 4th.-There has
been considerable talk in Washington
over the reports published in Eastern news
papers that Senator Hearst's seat would be
contested by Vrooman. The basis of the
reports of the contest is Senator Edmunds'
declaration made HaarStic
election, that any man chosen Senator
by the Legislature from which holdover Sen
ators were excluded, would not be entitled
to seat. So far as can be learned from talks
with members of the California delegation,
there is no intention on the part of any one
of them to urge a contest. The feeling
here is that as holdover Senators did not see
fit to avail themselves of their rights in
California, the Senate at Washington is
not bound to take further notice of their
claim.
VIII Come to an Agreement.
WASHINGTON, February 4th.-At meet
ing of the Randall wing of the Democratic
party to might, called to consider the Car
Isle letter to them, looking to an agree
ment upon revenue reduction, Randall,
Warner of Ohio, and Henley of California
were appointed committee to draft re-
now an agreement will be reached.

Bill.
New YORK, February 4th.-The Tribune

cided to refer the subject to the Executive
Committee of Vice-Presidents, 10 report
their conclusions and recommendations TO
future meeting of the Committee of Pres
idents. An early opportunity will be
sought to obtain an official declaration of
instruction from the Railroad Commits
sioners to be appointed under the law.
There was a general discussion of cutting
rates on the livestock and east-bound
freight, and it was agreed to adopt what
ever measures were necessary to secure the
continuance of the tariff hereafter, and
thoroughly investigate the charges pre-
ferred.
Alaskan Government.
New YORK February 4th.-The Tribune
says editorially: Alaska does not need an
organization with a Governor and Judge
and the machinery of Court. 1t is pro-
vided with all the civil government it needs
by the Act of Congress of 1884. The only
legislation now desirable is an Act making
homestead laws and those relating to the
plicable to the laws. Let that be done, and
Congress may safely leave our Russian pur-
chase to take care of itself, the only thing
necessary being for the Administration to
make sure that the Governor and Judge are
honest and competent men and that they
remain at their posts and attend TO their
duties.
